But this latest effort offers something extra: an exploration of some disturbing truths - that history is written by the victors, that the victors are not necessarily the good guys, and that they get away with it because few people are willing to ask the tough questions. TWO TRAINS RUNNING is set in 1959 in the fictitious town of Locke City, a former factory town that has managed to avoid drying up and blowing away thanks to those unique human traits that make vice and corruption such reliable investments. That Locke City's economy works at all is entirely due to the efforts of Royal Beaumont, a good ol' boy whose wheelchair is the throne in a vast criminal fiefdom. If money changes hands in Locke City, you can be sure that Beaumont is getting his slice. But Beaumont's empire has come to the attention of outside forces that include the East Coast mafia and Irish gangsters with IRA connections. Feeling threatened, Beaumont responds by bringing in Walker Dett, whose expertise extends beyond simple contract killing to include a genius for strategic thinking. Walker Dett is at the center of what is essentially a political thriller, one that has the mob boys, the Irish gangs, and other underworld forces united in an effort to deliver the vote - by any means necessary - to insure the victory of an unnamed Democratic candidate (the time frame and references make it obvious that the candidate is JFK) in the 1960 presidential election. But Royal Beaumont's skepticism and mistrust threaten the scheme, and he leverages Dett's skills to try to thwart what he believes is an attempt to seize control of his empire.

Mysteries It's A Hard World by Andrew Vachss It's A Hard World by Andrew Vachss Janet Kay Blaylock Articles in this Topic Discussions in this Topic Oct 14, 2002 It's A Hard World by Andrew Vachss appears in Detective Stories by Philip Pullman. This story is written in an unusual style because the narrator is the villain. Most detective fiction stories are told in first person and by the detective. I enjoyed reading this story and would recommend it to those who enjoy this genre. Detective Stories by Philip Pullman contain several interesting and intriguing stories. The villain went to LaGuardia airport because he wanted to leave New York. He decided to go to Augusta, Georgia. He wanted to escape from the hands of DellaCroce and his people. He had to wait for two hours before he could board his plan. Since he had to wait for awhile, he decided to call the Blind Man to see if he knew anything. The villain wanted to find out if DellaCroce and his men were on his trail. He felt pretty safe because he had some plastic surgery done so he wouldn't be recognized. He also changed his name. However, he was a little shook up when he heard the news from the Blind Man. DellaCroce and his men were on his trail, and they knew his name, but they didn't have a picture of him. Now, the man knew he had to do something. When his name was called to board the plane, he was sure to be caught.

44. Blue Candy: Notes Of An Andrew Vachss Fan By Raymond Embrack I spent the early ‘90s with andrew vachss. We lasted seven books until the divorce. We began to grow apart. The novels lost what I liked about them. http://www.allanguthrie.co.uk/7/Blue Candy.htm

Home Writers Noir Zine Allan Guthrie ... News Notes of an Andrew Vachss fan by Raymond Embrack I spent the early ‘90s with Andrew Vachss. We lasted seven books until the divorce. We began to grow apart. The novels lost what I liked about them. Increasingly clinical themes sucked the life out of them, like he was overcompensating for the pleasures of his earlier novels. The elements became repetitive. The sentimentality running through them became stickier. Today...we just want different things. I got custody of Blue Belle and Hard Candy , Vachss’ third and fourth novels. I came across both in a public library in the mystery section, purely looking for someone new to read, had never heard of Andrew Vachss. These two books got me hooked. There is nothing like getting hooked. It happens maybe once a decade, if I’m lucky. Vachss is hardboiled. Really hardboiled. In his first novel Flood , a woman removes her tattoo using gasoline and a match. Vachss writes a series private eye named Burke. Burke is not subtle. Book cover blurb: "Burke would eat Spade and Marlowe for breakfast, not even spitting out the bones." Not an exaggeration. If Taxi Driver was about a P.I. it would be Burke. Burke is also humorless and has the least fun of fictional P.I.s.

49. A Reply To Andrew Vachss... It is a failure so fundamental, so critical, that our longterm survival is at stake, writes author and lawyer andrew vachss in the March 29, 1998, http://www.liftingtheveil.org/vachss.reply.html

A REPLY TO ANDREW VACHSS' "A HARD LOOK AT HOW WE TREAT CHILDREN." By Rick Thoma It threatens the very future of the human species. It is "a failure so fundamental, so critical, that our long-term survival is at stake," writes author and lawyer Andrew Vachss in the March 29, 1998, edition of Parade Magazine Is it global warming? The deterioration of the ozone layer? Geopolitical instability leading to a possible nuclear confrontation? Guess again. It is the family unit which threatens humankind's survival as a species. It is that society has "devolved" such that it now tacitly toleratesand even condonesthe brutal and predatory abuse of children by their parents, argues Vachss. Thankfully, the reality of family life for the vast majority of children is far better than that which Vachss portrays. Child abuse related fatalitieswhile tragicare actually relatively infrequent, according to the National Committee for the Prevention of Child Abuse. Upon his conducting one of the most comprehensive reviews of child abuse related fatalities, Cyril Greenland concluded: "With the passing of the rhetoric about the virtual epidemic of child-abuse deaths, it is reassuring to discover that abuse and neglect severe enough to maim or destroy young children is comparatively rare. However, due to the moral panic associated with child abuse, this conclusion may not be welcomed by the professional community." Apparently, this is a conclusion not entirely welcomed by Andrew Vachss, one who adds considerable rhetoric of his own to the debate surrounding the prevalence of fatal child abuse and neglect.

skip to main skip to sidebar Light reading Tuesday, June 14, 2005 Andrew Vachss' Two Trains Running (with a few Burke spoilersnot Edmund...) The first ten pages or so of Andrew Vachss' Two Trains Running were so clunky in the writing that my heart sank; I'd been dying to read it, and even pestered Ed to get me one, and it would have been a great waste of his time if it ended up being unreadable. (On an unrelated note, check out Ed's secret history of literature . There's something dementedly Georges Perec about itand if you have never read Perec's short piece "Some of the things I really must do before I die," published in English translation in the volume Species of Spaces , get it at once! Especially if you teach writingit makes a great model/exercise in autobiographical listmaking.) Here's a list of the phrases from Two Trains Running But I am happy to say that the novel is excellent! The New York magazine header is "A Pulp Novelist Goes Literary," which I find a bit weird, but whatever... The Burke novels were definitely played out, the last few in particular felt extraordinarily forcedwhen Vachss killed off the lovely Pansy (sorry, spoiler... but it was some volumes ago, so anyone who reads these books probably already read that painful scene) and apparently Burke too, then has him come back to NY unrecognizable after plastic surgery, you really had to cringe. (I was still awaiting the next installment with excitement, so obviously I don't mean this as a rejection, just to say that there was a falling-off in quality several books ago).

Add Yours By Boris Kachka Published Jun 12, 2005 (Photo: Gary Schneider) Author-investigator Andrew Vachss’s crusades on behalf of abused children—both in life and in fiction—have earned the native New Yorker a reputation that’s equal parts Curtis Sliwa and James Ellroy (with a little Charles Bronson thrown in). For decades, he’s been a triple threat against child exploitation: a lawyer-prosecutor representing victims, a controversial investigator of abuse, and a writer of potboilers in which a P.I. named Burke avenges said atrocities. But his new thriller, Two Trains Running (Pantheon; $25), is no Burke book. A sweeping fifties gangster novel with shadings of Dashiell Hammett, it’s not just a departure from Vachss’s lifelong fixation, it’s also his first real foray into serious literature.
